Mini-Prep Plus 24 Ounce Processor (DLC-2ABC)

I picked up a Cuisinart DLC-2ABC for hummus. It's a bit loud, but it's small and powerful. 3 cups, has chop and grind buttons.

I bought [this ](https://a.co/d/6b2fJuE) probably 10 years ago and loved it. It's small, easy to use and clean.

I have a 14 cup but I turn to the 3 cup pretty often. It can be found on [sale for often for under $20](https://camelcamelcamel.com/product/B0000645YM)

I have a 4 cup Cuisinart that I use often. It’s probably 30 years old or more. I also have a 2 cup Cuisinart I bought a couple of years ago that I use rarely. I also think it’s no where near as substantial as my old 4 cup.

I have a 3 cup Cuisinart food processor. It works great for any kind of small chopping tasks.

What do you use a food processor for? 90% of my usage is for 2 things. Salsa and chopped nuts (for pad thai or baklava). I have the smallest 3 cup Cuisinart. For my salsa recipe it does require doing 2 batches, or baklava nuts needs multiple batches. I can't recall a situation where I wished for a bigger food processor. But, I also don't have situations where I am debating "I have to get the food processor out or I can do it by hand." I just grab the food processor. I will add per another commenter I do have a stand mixer, so I am not trying to use a food processor in situations where the stand mixer is better.

I like the Cuisinart Mini Prep Plus for small jobs - see them often at thrift stores
